Translating:WiktionaryMobile

Wiktionary Mobile is a cross-platform mobile & tablet application for reading and, in time, contributing to Wiktionary.

Initially targeting Android, the app is built using HTML5/JavaScript plus PhoneGap and customizations for tighter OS integration. iOS, Windows Mobile 7, and other platforms will be supported from the same code base.

We may devise a localization update distribution mechanism that will bring message updates without forcing an update of the entire app (which can be prohibitively difficult eg on iOS where Apple forces every update to be delayed for review.)

Translating offline

Note that .po files exported from translatewiki contain extra information to support round-tripping correctly. They cannot be used elsewhere. Submit them back through translatewiki.net for merging and normalization. You need the "offline" user right; be sure to request it, or you will not be able to use the submit interface.

If using POedit, be sure to use version 1.4 or later -- earlier versions will corrupt the .po files.
